Holiday Plans?

aprilxo · #1 11-07-2002, 04:50 PM

I was just wondering what people are doing for christmas break... any exciting vacations out there in anybody's future?

I myself am going to take off this year! NO work, ALL fun

I'm in the works of some plans to get the hell out of the Midwest for a while... and I'll post when I get them figured out

So what about you??

Read for pleasure. I might travel. The only place I would go would be to IHQ, in order to read the ritual of a fraternity we merged with (Beta Kappa).

A bunch of my sisters and I are thinking of hitting NYC for New Year's. We'd leave on December 28-ish, one sister's dad is a pilot and another's sister works with Continental so we'd have a bunch of buddy tickets, then we'd stay at a sister's apartment in Manhattan.

We're going to have to get kiddie leashes to stay together on New Year's Eve...

I plan on being in either:

Pasadena (for the Rose Bowl w/ the Hawkeyes)
or
Miami (with the Orange Bowl if thats where my Hawkeyes are)
or
New Orleans (with the Sugar Bow is my Hawkeyes end up there)

basically, wherever Iowa ends up for a bowl game, I plan on attending. it'll be good times

Well, seeing as how i won't be planning my holidays around the Aggies this year.(the first time in a LONG time) I think i'll be heading up to South Dakota to go visit my mom on the Rez.

I went last year. Boarded a plane in Houston wearing shorts and flip flops. Let's just say it was a bit of a shock when we touched down in Rapid City and there was snow on the ground.

Freakin Yankee states...from now on i'm staying South of the Mason-Dixon line

I'm going on a CRUISE over New Years!!! We're going from New Orleans to Cozumel; Monteago Bay, Jamaica; and Grand Cayman.

Thanksgiving is Omaha and back for the big Nebraska/Colorado game.

December should be a good month

My boyfriend is coming to visit for a few days in the middle of the month. Not sure what we'll be doing yet...could be just in B'ham,maybe over to Atlanta for a day, maybe to see my parents

(would be a first time meeting type of thing)

Then I'm going to my parents house for Christmas and a few days beforehand. Unfortunately I have to work and provide coverage in my dept. the 26th and 27th

But then I'm headed off to FL from the 28th until New Years day to see my sweetie

I need a true vacation from work....if I can just make it Thanksgiving I'll be ok!

Working the whole time.

I'm going home for Christmas for a couple of days. Then, on the 26th or 27th and thru New Years Mr. amycat and I are taking a trip. We decided not to buy each other presents this year, instead we'd go away together. We MIGHT go to Kona, HI for a week, or Mexico, or.. who knows, haven't totally figured it out yet--but should have it nailed down in the next week or so!

I get to take a trip back to the homeland, IRELAND baby...

and what?! It's going to be so so stellar....lol

For Thanksgiving, I'm going to my grandma's house as usual. Get to see all the relatives. Then for Christman break, I get to work. My school we get about a month and a half off, so I should make some money over break. I plan to take off around Christmas (23-27) to help my mom shop for gifts, SLEEP IN and relax. I miss sleep.........

I will be doing the same.

If not Rose, I'm hoping for the Sugar Bowl - my buddy Steve lives Uptown, I wouldn't even have to make it back to the hotel . . . beeeautiful

I did a bowl game one year over my break and it was the best time! Be sure to get a huge group of guys and girls to go... if your school organizes a group trip, do that!
